Will inactivity worsen mylomalacia?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Perhaps: It has been long known that pts with neurological problems may become more like invalids if too much inactivity in response to the problem. Myelomalacia is indicative of prior spinal cord damage, and so degree of activity would not truly influence unless the problem causing it is due to mechanical compression. Check with your doctor to make sure all needed treatment has be finished.
